duke1 · Mar 30th, 2024, 17:19

hi all i have read this and other threads on doing the delta link bushes and after a online search i find many vendors and makes only a few i have heard of and trust,so any ideas of make and supplier its a 1994 855 and they did note the bushes on the last mot so it would be good to get them done,no you do not have to have the tool but it maybe easier more so with fitting than removal,a come along type winch and some heat make it easy to remove,i have done them several times on older models,new bolts are easy to buy online at boltworld or similar.
so any good makes? i used p.p.s. for the axle bushes as they had none at local volvo dealer. cheers for any input

Meyle Heavy Duty are good.

As above - I believe this is what you get if you buy them from PFV Online. That's what I did, and they're fine.

That is just mental

Whilst I admire the dedication and attention to detail in achieving such a high standard, it does make the car unusable. One outing on a wet road or a drive across dusty parkland to attend a summer show and it is straight back in the garage for a full detail. Nice to see tho'.

I take you're not going to invest in a electroplating machine?
